Boiling impure water removes all danger,
and IL cholera or typhoid fever Is suspected
TO be caused by the drinking water, 1t should
always be boiled or treated with quick lime
before using. 1t is the common belief that
water becomes pure by freezing and that no
danger to health can arise from the use OF
iee no matter whence its source. This be-
lief Is a false one as has long been understood
by sanitarians. DR.. I. Mitchell Pruden, OF
the laboratory of the New York College Of
Physicians and Surgeons (New York Medi-
cal Record, March 20 and April 2, 1SSD, has
recently made some elaborate investigations
upon the effects of freezing upon the micro
organisms found in the ice supply of New
York City, as well as upon. the organisms
known to be present in typhoid fever and
blood poisoning.
He found that an ordinary drinking glass
holding half pint of average melted Ice,
contained about half a million OF bacteria OF
various kinds. The upper layer, or SNOW
lee, full of bubbles. contained them in far
greater numbers. The microbes of typhoid
fever and of lood-poisoning (septisemia and
pyemia) resist freezing for indefinite periods
but are gradually killed by repeated freezing
and thawing. He thinks the ordinary city
ice should not be melted in the drinking
water, but kept separate from it, and that
artificial ice made from water Of undoubted
purity, should always be chosen, when 1t
can be had, for domestic purposes.

MARRIAGE SHOULD COME.
II Should Not be Sought For-what
Motives Should be Considered.

Marriage, it seems to me, should be waited
for, not sought. Who knows round what
corner his destiny may be hiding-at what
unexpected turn he may come upon the face
above all faces for him? To put aside, as
far as possible, the thought of marriage un-
ill compelled to think Of it by some strong
and special attraction toward some special
person, is wiser than to be seeking in every
chance acquaintance the possible husband or
wife. 1--WE shall meet the people who arc
coming to meet us" no matter in what far
off land their Journey toward us begins.
Perhaps parents are more to blame for
worldly marriages than we are apt to think.
How constantly we hear the term married
well'' applied, not to character. or congenial-
ity, or true fitness, but to a comfortable in
come. And yet there is something to be-
said for "the stern parent" Of the novels,
with his ''hard facts" The old adage, that
"when poverty comes In ut the door love flies
out Of the window" Is only true OF small
natures, natures incapable of great love
but 1t Is nevertheless true that TO be loved 1t
Is necessary to be lovely, and that 1t Is far
more difficult to be lovely when we are hard
pressed by want and rendered fretful by
care and oyerwork. Human creatures can
not build their nests as inexpensiyely as the
birds do and not even the scant hospitality
OF homestead ewes or orchard boughs awaits
their fedgelings. To marry for money, or
any object whatever, save and except immor-
tai and all-powerful love, is TO periure and
debase the human heart but to marry with
out some provision for the future, snch s a.
